Re: Amtrak Pioneer: Amtrak pay for track?

Here in the central valley of California, It is my understanding that Amtrak, under CDOT (CalTrans) pays for a great deal of improvements to track and CTC. Part of the trade off is a "money-back" guarantee of on-time performance. BNSF pays Amtrak cash penalties for tardiness for delays caused by freight. Conversely, I understand that Amtrak pays (to some extent) for their ability to run down the line. BNSF certainly isn't in the commuter business, except for the Chicago-Aurora line.
